In Russia there will be a national database of biometric fingerprint – RBC

In Russia will set up a national biometric platform, he said during a speech at a luncheon at the IT-SPIEF CEO of the Center for Speech Technology Dmitry Dyrmovsky. According to him, this issue is being decided now. National Biometric Platform, on the idea, should become a large database of fingerprints, which will verify the doctors and patients using telemedicine services.

At the Center for Speech Technology (MDGs) have experience of creating such a platform, said Dyrmovsky company I implemented the similar projects in Mexico and Ecuador. Basically MDGs using biometric face and voice -. Those two types of biometric identification, which does not require additional equipment, said it

telemedicine market in the world is growing every year by at least 20%, and one of the main requirements remote service is a secure and reliable proof of identity of the patient and the doctor said Dyrmovsky. Biometrics Technology – the most convenient tool in the implementation of the present case. At the global level telemedicine market already in 2020 will reach $ 5 billion, cites Dyrmovsky.

The law on the resolution of remote medical services (telemedicine) was submitted to the Duma on May 30. In its preparation involved representatives of both the Russian Internet companies, in particular, “Yandex”, and the Institute for Internet Development (IRI) and the Foundation for the development of Internet initiatives (FRII).

According to the IRI Board Chairman Herman Klimenko, a key feature of the bill is that it allows the doctor to a remote medical intervention. In addition, for the implementation of this requires that both the doctor and the patient underwent the procedure of identification. A similar bill, developed by the Ministry of Health and submitted to the State Duma in April, allows the doctor to just advise the patient, but prohibits online to prescribe, change the dose or to establish and adjust the diagnosis.

The use of biometrics can be much wider than needs of telemedicine, said Dyrmovsky. For example, using biometric identification may validate the signature at the conclusion of legal documents, he says, but the “pioneer” in the field is the financial sector. As an example, he cited the US bank Wells Fargo, for which, according to Dyrmovskogo MDG provided the technology for customer access to accounts using biometric face and voice.
